I bought this PC 2 months ago. Yesterday, I had to transport it by car. Even though I packed it in the original box with foam, when I tried to set it up again, I noticed that this cable, which I had secured with electrical tape, was loose. I’m sure it wasn’t loose before.

I know it’s some kind of power cable, but I don’t know where to plug it in (I’m not a hardware guy).

Note: The PC is turning on and functioning normally. I don’t know if it’s related or just a coincidence, but my headphones that I usually connect to the back stopped working.

Can someone shed some light on this?

    Does it attach to the motherboard in one end? As in is one end still attached? If so is there any labels / text there? It looks like it could be a fan cable and if it is the end connected to the motherboard should have a label.

    If not that I’d need more pictures, especially of the loose end and the connection point in the connected end.

    I don’t think this is related to your headphones not working though.

      Yes.

      CHA_FAN1. All fans are working, so it probably wasn’t connected anywhere. Thank you very much.
